You
could call the Zeros the Chicano Ramones because of their great
pop hooks. They opened for the Germ's first 77 concert and opened
for the Clash in SF, 79.

BACK
TO PUNK FLYERS
This
flyer announced a concert that marked an important turning
point in the history of punk in Los Angeles. The 1979 concert
held at Baces Hall was a benefit thrown for political
prisoners in Texas... it was the first (but not last),
explicitly political punk benefit concert held in
Los Angeles.
The
bands that played, Plugz, Middle Class, and
Zeros, were all intuitively political... and the
combination of angry punk music and radical politics made
this event stand out from previous concerts. Many more political
punk affairs were to follow in the wake of this ground breaking
concert.
